    free domain name with purchase

    If the company offers a free domain name with purchase - do you think that's good?
    I have searched for a shared package plan and have seen that offer from some companies, allwebnow, for example.

    Domains can be as little as $3/year. One thing to consider is a hosting company that controls your domain can hold your site hostage. The only benefit to letting them control your domain name is that they can make DNS changes for you if necessary. (For example when I move clients between servers they never know the difference)

    However if your competent in managing the domain name (you can set-up your nameservers on your own), you shouldn't take the free domain name as any kind of real bonus, its just not that big of a deal.

    While choosing a web host you should look through the hosting company very clearly because it will be very boring for your visitors if the page will upload for hours. So, as a matter of fact, I suggest you to have a look at reliable web hosting company called Apthost - it offers very cheap, but resourceful web hosting plans within free domain name and provides stable and qualitative hosting and support services. I personally think that it is very suitable to buy hosting and get free domain name.

    I am sure that it will be good to order any web hosting plans and get free domain name for life. As for recommendation, have a look at sibername web hosting offers. You no longer need a programming guru to set up your site. You no longer need to be a computer guru to get a web site posted. Web hosting service has vastly improved since the beginning days of the internet.

    I think that it will be good to buy hosting and get free domain name. Well, from the mentioned above companies, I highly recommend you to choose sibername.com. Their support services are prompt and efficient. I'd like to say that I have great network uptime and the connection speed is fast at least by my standards. It provides a wide range of professional facilities, all in generous quantities, and at a fantastic price.

    Why not?
    Their E-commerce Package: that offers $10 off per month equaling $14.95 / month hosting. (code: 1495platinumhosting).

    Free domains can be acquired from many hosting companies. As a 'value added' service, a free domain is low the priority list you should be looking for.
